Top of the list letters!

Evening all. I know alot of people have been asking about waiting list. We went on list on 8th October 1 for icis. I got a surprise from the postman yesterday with my offer of treatment. Need to call on Thursday to accept. Nervous now about the journey to come.....

Just a quick update 're IVF top of the list- received our letter yesterday and we went on the list 6th of Feb. To be honest wasn't expecting it yet as from the comments in here people were waiting 9/10 months. Awaiting the appointments letter now....Super excited but nervous too...

Oh wow Amro thats great you didn't have to wait too long! I also went on the list in February! I will be anxiously awaiting the postman now lol Although I am having ICSI, does anyone know of the waiting list is slightly longer for that?

Thanks Jo! I thought it would be a bit longer! Although it seems likely I will be starting treatment slightly earlier than I thought which is great! Starting to get a bit nervous now though lol Best of luck Jo and Amro! I will keep my FX for you both! I will be eagerly stalking to see how you's get on and I really hope to see some lovely BFP's at the end!

Thanks everyone! Another update- received my dates for App today too: so the bloods are scheduled for 24th Oct and PTC will be on the 7th of Nov. Happy with this as will be able to calm down and get into the zone for what's to come...

Hi Con, still waiting very impatiently!! We went the list for Icsi on 17th jan, the wait seems to be slightly longer for it than IVF based on other ladies getting letters, il post in here when we receive ours! X

Hi ladies, came home to a surprise from the postman! Got my letter today and it was dated 1st Oct, we went on for Icsi 17th Jan!! Can not believe we have actually got there, not even fit for dinner!! Lol has anybody ever been allowed to accept on a fri?? X

Etoot, I thought it was a Thursday or Friday you could accept? Pretty sure that's what it was when I got my letter, that was about 6 months ago though so could have changed. Does it not say on your letter when you can accept?

Janelle, it’s says wed and thurs on my letter, I’m raging as I was so close to actually ringing at lunchtime just to see where they were at, if I had of I’m sure they wud have said ur letter is out and I cud accept!! I mite just play stupid and ring in the morning and never let on I’ve got it, I see from other posts girls can wait a week or more on their letter! Lol x

etoot i got my letter on the 2nd october , tuesday past , and i thought ill just ring u and pretend i didnt see the bit about wed and thurs..... she told me to ring back tomorrow lol so i rang on wednesday to accept. looks like we might be cycling around the same time.
it was a bit of an anti climax ringing to accept, i thought they gave u dates for appts then and there... but no... more waiting on another letter we will have great patience by the end of all this

I know Sparkle, I was kinda raging it was a Thursday I got mine as knew I nearly had a week to wait to accept, you would think after all this time we would be used to it but here we go again! Your right looks like we will be round the same time, this is my 1st time but I’ve been following this forum for a while and it’s better than google!! Lol let us know when you get ur appt dates too!

Con, it will come, I read on here wk after wk all the other ladies getting there turn and it’s difficult, I must have read the letter 20 times and still find it surreal x

Hi, Sparkle. Yes, it seems we will be going through this at the same time! My PTC is 7th of Nov but it will be cycle day 22 (unless some kind of miracle happens) so will have to wait a bit to start...
This is my first time and to be honest don't even know how to handle everything. Trying to stay positive and whatever will be will be.

Sparkle I knew by other dates it would be way into nov, I’m 28 days regular, my day 21 will be 23rd Nov, so I’m very close to missing out on another month!! Il be ringing 8.30 on the button. I’m also kinda worried as it’s the run of to Christmas as well and how that will effect with holidays etc..

yes girls me too.. i worked mine out and ill be stimming literally the week up to xmas and transfer in early jan, but i dont know if thats possible with hoidays etc, i just hope my next period is late lol and so is the next one then i could get started before christmas.

wonder has anyone on here ever had a cycle with rfc and its fell around christmas? wonder what they do?

amro i wont be far behind you. dont stress about it all you will be totally fine! this will be my 2bd go , third transfer so im going with thurd time lucky.

etoot i think my day 21 is so close too but ill prob miss it so im just gonna plan in my head for next cycle, but id love to get going here in november!! we have our christmas nights out etc so wont be drinking... have to pretend so i dont get 100 questions! once everyone else is drunk they dont realise anyway what we are drinking .

Sparkle my last cycle started around Xmas last year but it was with GCRM. They had me down regging slightly longer to work round the Xmas and new year etc. I started my stims on 27 Dec so that ec and transfer would follow shortly after near year.

sparkle,jo and Amro, we will have some Christmas by the looks of things!

Girls can I ask, from your day 21 how long is it normally until collection and transfer? I’m sorry if that sounds silly but I’m just completely in the dark with timings and it’s nice to kinda know, I know it would all depend on how you respond to the drugs as well...

Etoot it all really depends on individual but just to give you an idea this was my schedule. Down reg from 07.09 to 19.09. Then a break for 7 days whilst you wait for period to arrive. Started my stims injections from 27.09 to 07.10. Had my egg collection today. Once you start this bit it all goes quite quickly. Good luck with your cycle x

Sparkle and Etoot, will be nice to have company!
I had similar question about timings like Etoot so thanks Hopefully and Janelle for your answers.
There are invites for Christmas parties flying around and I keep accepting- though by the looks of things I'll be home with the heatpad and cup of tea watching telly lol

amro, etoot and jo yes our christmas might be a little different this year.. hopefully christmas cheer gets us through, its a good time to be cosy.
means only one thing , fingers crossed we have 4 little 2/3 month year olds at christmas next year

Ladies just to let you know got my appts letter, bloods 7th nov amd PTC 20th Nov, my day 21 will be the 23rd nov that cycle, it will be close to the wire for Christmas break so don’t really know how that will fair out! X

I know jo, all down to timing, if my appt was the week later I’d have been in the same position as u!! Christmas will be fun, I may get my shopping out of the road ASAP, may have enough running about to do lol!
